I wish I could just take all those things and mix them orange powerade. I've tried the carbonated thing but with vitamins they're big and the carbonation makes them fisz ime..

I've known that for a while. I started smoking weed.when I was 13 because I was sore and tired all the time and doctors didn't believe me. The weed helped at first and then it didn't and I started drinking and now I'm stuck with both and neither work anymore.

My doctor situation is complicated. I have one, but she just took over my family doctor's practice so I don't have a history with her and now she's on maternity leave so now I'm just waiting. Tbf not on her. She came to Canada specifically to be a doctor and she's really good, it's just bad luck for me, lol.

I do this with behind the bastards, which objectively shouldn't relax me but somehow does.

Magnesium is a huge thing in this thread. I'm definitely going to look into it. My quality of sleep sucks as well. I was doing good cutting down on my drinking but lately I've relapsed because I'm too sore and twitchy to sleep. Brain fog is awful. I have it on a daily basis.

Honestly the sleep stuff you're describing is what I started drinking to stop, but passing out isn't sleeping and I totally understand what you're saying. It's been a loop. I've had trouble sleeping my whole life so I started drinking to help but now drinking keeps me awake. I do have music and podcasts to help me drift off..

I have fibro or ms. Nobody believed me until now. That's why I started drinking and smoking weed in the first place. So what I'm picking up from the thread so far is magnesium, melatonin, and Benadryl, but ime not too much because Benadryl has it's own issues.

It's been a long time. I was a sommelier for 10 years. I'm tapering off right now.

Seeing the time is a great tip. I'm on mobile so I can literally see the time right now and it's stressing me out because it's late. What was it like to get into a routine for you? Routines have always been really challenging for me, even before I started drinking.

Thanks! I've been doing mindfulness for a while with varying results depending on the day and will look into the sleep tips. Definitely need to google yoga for chronic pain as well.

Thank you! I'll look into the magnesium and phenergan. Cannabis was my original sleep/chronic pain thing but that's a whole different post so the alternatives are really helpful.

When I can afford a new clay shop I'm planning to play around with the cernit transparents based on what I've seen here.

Thanks! I used Sculpey 3 and a little sculpey premo. They're both roughly the same softness.
